Printed catalogs vs Online catalogs at B2B companies. You can not compare them. Printed catalogs are old-fashioned? I don't know. I like the smell of paper even if it seems weird. If your customer's attention is still on this. That is okay. This choice can be expensive, can not be updated constantly, and can not be carried always. PDF version of the catalog can be an online catalog but still, be used by your sales teams for outbound activities mostly. 1200 pages PDF catalog also seems not friendly. I am not sure if someone can open it or not. So they were effective 5 years ago before the pandemic but now B2B working companies also search online as sourcing activities. They request information, quotes. The key point is now not an online or printed catalog. What buyers find, when they search. The key point is content and distribution. They reach product pages at websites, and marketplaces, discussions at forum websites, thoughts, and approaches at blogs, customer experience videos, thought leaders at podcasts, communities, etc. Click impression reports, search analytics, heatmaps, etc. are part of our lives now. You are also in this cycle as a consumer in your personal life. Online searching, reading, listening, watching. The question is where are your company buyers? What do they search for? How will your content be distributed? #content #distribution #b2bmarketing #b2b #marketing #catalog
